A Gelada, or ‘bleeding-heart’, monkey surveys the terrain on the outskirts of Bristol. This creature’s more usual habitat is the highlands of Ethiopia but this one is a surprising resident of BS10. ‘Home’ is Wild Place off Junction 17 of the M5 (just in South Gloucestershire but sporting a Bristol post code).

Established by Bristol Zoological Society, the project – which has an emphasis on protecting threatened habitats – provides visitors with the opportunity to view the animals at close quarters. Details at: http://www.wildplace.org.uk
